and so far from being regarded as an unto,
ward event is gratefully remembered ana
is not set down against the officials OF che
great railway corporation, who could not
foresee the sudden melting OF the snow IN
the mountains, nor guard, against the COM
bination of circumstances which led TO the
partial destruction of their railway bridge
at Duthil. But little is as yet known by the
travelling public of the wonders of the region
traversed by the latest OF the SisterhoOd OF
trans-continental railways. Familiar as the
writer Is with the mountain scenery OF
Switzerland, he does not hesitate TO say that
nowhere in Switzerland is there grander
Alpine scenery than that which extends
from Donald to Revelstoke and which is af-
terward encountered as the railway makes
its wonderful descent through the canon OF
the Fraser to the sea. Here are AlpsalmoSt
as high as those of the Bernese Overland,
covered with eternal snow and ice.
AMONG ALPINE SCENERY.
Here are peaks as steep and awful in
their sublime uplift as the Weisshorn or the
Matterhorn. Here are fields of virgin white
covering these Western Alps as pure and
beautiful as those which drape the jung
frau. Here are glaciers as long and broad
aS those which rivet the attention OF the
tourists in the Valais, and quite as accessi-
BILE. Nowhere in all Europe is there scenery
such as that which greetS the eye upon the
Fraser as it pours its stream, boiling like
Niagara below the falls through the crags
which line either banks of the canyon and
soar upward at times to the height of 1900
to 1000 feet until they are lost in the clouds
which are waited in from the Pacific by the
warm Chenook winds.
The passage across the Pacific is made to
and fro between Yokohama and Vancouver
in far less time than between San Francisco
and Yokohama. The Abyssinia, bound in,
left Yokohama on May 81, at 7 a. M, and
arrived in port at Vancouver on June -, at
about midnight. This was her first trip
across the Pacific as the pioneer ship of the
new Canadian Pacific line, She brought in
her-hold 81, 800, 600 of tea, silk and opium,
which is being loaded here for shipment to
Montreal. 1t will be the pleasant expert
ence of the members of the United
States Eclipse Expedition to make
the first run ever made from
Vancouver to Yokohama upon an ocean
steamer Eighteen months ago Vancouver
had no existence save in name Not house
stood upon the spot. The terminus of the
Canadian Pacific railroad was at Port
Moody. On May % last the first through
train from Montreal drew into Vancouver
The town now has a population Of from
5000 to 1900 inhabitants, and trading in
corner lots is going on brisltly. The harbor
is magnificent, the accommodations for the
travelling public good, and in few years
we may confidently predict for this port an
importance equal to that of Portland, Ore,
if not to that of San Francisco.

POISON IN BREAD.
The Mystery of the Sudden Deaths il
Two Families Solved.

The Mystery of the Sudden Deaths in
Two Families Solved.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-Coroner Ash
bridge this afternoon began an inquest be-
fore the special jury in regard to the deaths
in the families of Louis Deitel and George
Palmer, as is supposed from eating poisoned
tea buns made by Palmer, who is baker
The inquest was upon two children of each
family. There was no difficulty in proving
liberal use of baker Palmer's goods. He
himself testified to using chromate of lead
in several of his products. He stated that
since May 10, 1884, six deaths had occurred
in his family. He first commenced
the use of chrome yellow about five years
ago. He heard that other bakers used it,
He bought it from a d ealer in bakers sup
plies.
A salesmes from whom the witness
bought chromate, said other bakers used It,
His practice was TO dissolve the chromate in
half pint of water, and then take a table
spoonful and put it in the dough. The
chemist who analysed portions of the bodies
Of the dead children, testified TO discover
ing proofs of lead poison. The verdict was
that the deaths of four persons were I'M
doubtedly due to chronic lead poisoning
and that the poisoning resulted from the
use of chromate of lead.
Baker Palmer was held in $1,000 bail to
await the action of the grand jury.

The Fearful Result of a Premature
Powder Blast in Lancaster.
LANCASTER, S. c., July IA very sad
accident occurred on the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern railroad in the county of
Lancaster Friday evening, resulting i'll the
death of eight negroes and wounding NOR
tally one white man, besides wounding a
number of others. The party, with others,
were at work grading on the line of the
said railroad, and the accident occurred by
a premature powder blast The drill hole
became choked after large quantity of
powder had been put in and the overseer
attempted to unchoke it by running down
a steel drill, which, it is thought, struck a
rock, causing the powder to ignite, while
the party unawareS were all near by.
Three of the negroes were blown up 300
feet in the air and mangled all to pieces,
and five were covered up and mashed to
death by dirt and rock. The overSeer was
not killed, but he is mortally wounded. Two
mules were killed and others were crippled
Other men were injured, but it is thought
not seriously. All of these negroes We're Ia
borers from Virginia, except one, who was
from Lincolnton, n. G. The overseer is from
North Carolina and his name is A. Gee All
the slain men were working on the railroad
under Wright Bros.
The Coroner held an inquest over the
dead bodies, and the verdict of the jury was
in accordance with the facts above stated
